The ACLU of Michigan, in collaboration with the Detroit Free Press and HBO, invites you to join us for a special screening of the highly acclaimed, award winning film,
The Sentence
, which documents the devastating impact that the criminal justice system, and particularly mandatory minimum sentencing, has had on a Lansing family. This showing of the film will be followed by a conversation with Cindy, Rudy and her family. This event is part of the ACLU's Campaign for Smart Justice, which is committed to reducing mass incarceration by 50 percent nationwide and eliminating racial disparities in the criminal justice system. Sentencing reform is critical to our campaign, and Cindy's story clearly illustrates why mandatory minimums must end. To learn more about Smart Justice you can click

You are invited to join Circles of Faith, a small group ministry at Edgewood. Have you ever wished that you had a few people to talk to about your faith journey? Does God exist? How does prayer work? How can a good God allow evil in the world? We also discuss friendship, grief and other topics. Circles of Faith are small groups of 8-10 people who gather to discuss issues of faith and daily life. They are also a way to really get to know people, an opportunity to grow, and a time to reflect on how God is present in our daily lives. They are lay-led, facilitated groups that covenant to meet twice a month October through January. You can sign up on the pink sheet or on the bulletin board in the social hall. If you have questions, contact Pam Sisson at pamsisson2@gmail.com

All you need to do is send us the (Who, What, When, Where, and brief description) of your event, meeting, or special occasion to: publicity@edgewooducc.org.
